Traditional Seismic Construction Technology of the Turkish House 'Konak', Concentration of the Case Study 'Saraçlar Şehir House' in Safranbolu

Abstract:

In this study, the construction analysis of Turkish House Konak, was researched according to its traditional construction technology against seismic actions. Case study building was chosen from Safranbolu and construction datas were getting from different bibliography for receiving more informational data about their traditional construction technology. The traditional Turkish house construction technology against the seismicity was researched by concentrating the timber skeleton and its relation to the seismic forces that affect the structural behavior.The aim of this study was to understand the seismic precautions and seismic weakness of the traditional Turkish house structures that were done in the previous times.
